Germany was defeated with the help of the air attacks. Much of urban Germany was destroyed by the bombing. Germany's industry & transportation were crippled by the RAF & USAAF air attacks. RAF Bomber Command's night bombing destroyed large sections of whole cities causing major disruptions of the German labor force & housing, including the deaths of tens of thousands of German civilians. Germany was forced to develop night fighter defenses & increase Anit-Aircraft artillery defenses for its cities. The US Army Air Forces conducted primarily daylight bombing of factories, rail yards, bridges, oil refineries, oil fields, airfields, U-Boat pens, ship-yards, ammunition storage areas, etc. to destroy the ability of Germany to produce war materials. Germany was forced to divert a huge amount of resources to defend against these air attacks, including the manpower, ammunition, fuel & manufacturing to support the fighters & AA artillery. The German air force defense of Germany & of its ground forces in France were defeated by mid-1944. This greatly aided the Allied war effort on the ground & at sea.
